Creates printer queue name with printer model

Asked by Venkat

Hello Sir,

I am executing the command for creating printers in monitor server , it creates queue name with printer model instead of name which we are giving .
Any suggestion.

dnkgevelprnm001:~ # lpstat -v
lpstat: No destinations added.
dnkgevelprnm001:~ # hp-setup -i -x --auto -b net --port=1 -psb22 sb22

Hi Venkat,

-p option doesn't work if you are using -a -x options.

Removing option -a -x in your above command should be able to pick the default queue name provide through option -p.

Thanks,
Goutam

Hi Goutam,

Thanks for your reply .
We have to create 1300+ printer in monitor server .executing command "hp-setup -i -b net --port=1 --printer=bk12 bk12" ,which is prompting for some question.

We need to use script to create the printer , in that case which syntax we can use to create the printer without prompting for question.

Earlier we used "hp-setup -i -x --auto -b net --port=${printerport} --printer=${printername} ${printername}"

Thanks,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,

Comment out below lines in /usr/share/hplip/setup.py

431: if auto:
432: printer_name = default_model

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
483: else:
484 printer_name = printer_default_model

and save the file.

Re-try the command and let us know if the queue is configured as you expected.

Thanks,
Goutam
